here is a solo vibes version of a tune i wrote long time ago for a percussion ensemble.i got many recordings of this song played with different instruments and settings but never did a solo vibe performance cause it was too difficult for me to play the bass and the melody.it´s great for working on independence inspired by the video of ed´s blues and all of tonys lessons that deal with that. still it´s not perfect and i miss a lot of notes but as working process i thought it would be cool to post it on the level i can play it today...still it needs a lot of work.

So here's another video of my mentor, Steve Giordano. Again listen to him play. I think you can imagine playing most of this on the vibes. For me, this is where the solo playing comes from. We can learn a lot from the guitar.

Just imagine this was a set of vibes.

Greetings Vibes people

this site is great! I had no idea so many people are involved in playing mallet instruments. I am having a good time reading thru what is here.

I play a 1979 Deagan #594 vibes with Serna pickups. I love this instrument, and have never lost (1) pickup ever. It sounds great, I like the bar sizing and it has held up to a rigorous life, from world tours in road case to it's local rustic Suburu roadcase.

more soon!

thanks
